Was it him?
Xu Ran was unsure.
But a feeling in his heart told him, this was Xu Nan.
This was Xu Nan.
At the same time, in the live stream –
Xu Nan suddenly turned his head towards the direction of the university town, as if sensing something.
"Brother!"
In the dormitory, Xu Ran leaped to his feet.
At this moment, that feeling in his heart reached its peak.
...
"What's wrong?"
In the air, Cai Cai Dan looked at Xu Nan, who had suddenly stopped moving.
Xu Nan withdrew his gaze and said calmly, "It's nothing, senior. I misread."
"Mm, focus on the journey. If you get lost later, I won't be responsible."
Cai Cai Dan said with a serious expression.
Paired with its azure dragon head, it looked even more majestic and imposing.
Ever since it discovered the fervent human reaction to the existence of 'dragons,' Cai Cai Dan had developed a sense of 'public image.'
Fortunately, it hadn't forgotten why it was out here and what its purpose was.
It dared not float around casually anymore.
However, the playful interactions with the mechanical sphere and the exploration of novelties would no longer appear on camera.
By now, Cai Cai Dan and its companions had been out for seven days.
They had also completed five missions.
Currently, they were en route to the city where the sixth mission was located.
Little did they expect,
On the day they arrived in the new city, the first thunderstorm of summer descended.
Along with this rain, a sudden 'visitor' also arrived.
Much later, Cai Cai Dan would still not forget the scene it witnessed that day.
Above the city with buildings of varying heights, clouds churned, lightning flashed, and thunder rumbled.
Rain poured down, washing the ground.
The thunderous roars were incessant.
Long, blinding arcs of electricity seemed to tear through the sky.
People inside the buildings instinctively quieted their breathing, daring not to make any large movements.
It felt like the end of the world.
It was in such a scene and atmosphere that a flickering white light suddenly appeared from the clouds.
Approaching from afar, it flew towards Cai Cai Dan and its companions.
Cai Cai Dan and its companions were startled. Just as they activated their defenses, the newcomer appeared before them like a bolt of lightning.
*Zzzt—*
Lingering sparks emitted faint sounds.
Within the white light, there was a white dragon!
Its body was like a long snake, covered in silver scales, with a refined appearance.
It had horns on its head and five claws.
On its crucian carp tail, electric light flickered.
As it opened its mouth, white mist billowed out, carrying a strange, inexplicable pressure:
"Are you that newborn little dragon cub?"
Its voice was rather high-pitched and clear.
It sounded like the voice of a human girl of eight or nine years old.
"..."
The mechanical sphere and Xu Nan were stunned, not understanding the situation.
And the person in question – Cai Cai Dan’s eyes widened, and two words surfaced in its mind:
– So cool!
What an entrance!
...
Another dragon?!
And a little white dragon at that?!
At this moment, the viewers in the live stream were also momentarily bewildered.
They looked at the stormy weather outside, then at the two dragons on their phone screens.
They looked at the dragons, then at the window.
Wow!
So there really were dragons in the sky during thunderstorms!
The myths were true, their parents hadn't lied to them!
Parents: ...
They didn't know it was true either!
It was just stories! Everyone was just telling them, to pacify the children.
"An Ran tipped the streamer Lollipop *666!"
"[Li Li Yuan Shang Pu] tipped the streamer Ice Watermelon *10!"
"Mummy tipped the streamer..."
...
...
Above the city.
Rain poured, thunder boomed incessantly.
Amidst the flashing arcs of electricity, two dragons, one azure and one white, faced each other.
Although Cai Cai Dan was only a foot long, its presence could not be diminished.
It flew to the same height as the other dragon, chin held high.
"Do you need something?"
As the white dragon opened its mouth, white mist enveloped the small azure dragon, which was only a foot long.
"Dragon King Grandpa sent me to bring you back."
Cai Cai Dan shook off the mist around its body, "Who are you?"
This dragon suddenly appeared and wanted to take it away.
How strange.
... Wait.
Cai Cai Dan’s eyes flickered, and it re-examined the little white dragon before it.
Both its bright eyes and its confident posture.
It looked like it had a powerful backing.
Could this be the envoy from the Dragon Palace that Lord Yama and Master mentioned?
"Me?"
The little white dragon finally remembered it hadn't introduced itself.
It was simply too excited to see a newborn dragon cub for the first time.
"Hello, I am Ao Bai. I am the thirteenth daughter of the East Sea. I've come specifically to take you back to the Dragon Palace."
"And you?"
Thirteenth?
They sure could reproduce.
Cai Cai Dan was startled inwardly but remained outwardly calm.
Mimicking Ao Bai's demeanor, it confidently stated:
"My name is Cai Cai Dan. I am the captain of the eighteenth team of the Eastern Hall Underworld, Bai Wuchang, and the pet of Jiang Lin's family."
It then added, "The only dragon."
"Pet!?"
After hearing this, Ao Bai, the little white dragon, exclaimed and circled Cai Cai Dan once.
"You're a pet to a human!?"
Cai Cai Dan corrected, "He's a ghost. My master is a ghost messenger."
"You're a pet to a ghost!? You're a pet!?"
She sounded as if she had heard something incredible, then her expression changed.
Her brow furrowed, and she glared, "Did they bully you and force you when you were young?!"
"Take me to them, and I'll help you seek justice!"
As she spoke, the dissipated electric arcs around her reappeared, crackling.
The aura emanating from her was terrifying.
...
"What are they saying?"
"We don't know, and we can't ask."
With the thunder and rain, the sounds were noisy.
The viewers in the live stream couldn't hear what the two dragons were saying.
They only saw their mouths opening and closing.
"Lip reading, lip reading, who can read lips?"
"This isn't human lip reading, it's useless no matter who tries. Wake up, upstairs."
"I'm awake, otherwise, how could I dream of two dragons, one azure and one white."
"Speaking of azure and white, could they be the White Snake transformed into a dragon?!"
Holy cow!
The viewers thought about it and felt quite excited.
They had all grown up listening to the stories of the White Snake, which were akin to childhood memories.
If childhood memories truly came true, wouldn't they be excited?
Just as they were speculating wildly and getting more animated,
Suddenly, the screen flickered with electric light.
The little white dragon was covered in electricity, glaring at Cai Cai Dan.
It seemed angry.
"??? What happened? Should we call for rescue?"
"Streamer, streamer, calling streamer?"
"Egg Lord has met its match. It's over, it's over. My Egg Lord just hatched not long ago."
The viewers felt they had watched Cai Cai Dan grow up, and seeing this scene, they couldn't sit still.
Even if not for Cai Cai Dan, they had to consider the streamer.
How could their streamer's pet be bullied!
What to do?
How to contact the streamer?
Burn joss paper? But they didn't have the streamer's detailed information!
"Tip! Quick, tip!"
If they tipped too much, perhaps it would attract the streamer's attention?
...
